9 o'clock.
She was sister of P. L. Burwell,
general superintendent of the Cumber-
land and Pennsylvania railroad, and
was on visit to her brother-in-law,
DR.. B. M. Cromwell, of Eckhart, ac-
companied by her son, aged about 13,
and her daughter about 16, who COM
prised her family. Saturday she spent
the day at Mr.. Burwell's residence in
Mt. Savage, and in the evening
started in his phaeton for DR..
Cromwell's. She was driven by
Richard Johns, Mr., Burwel's garden
er and coachman. The horse attach
ed to the vehicle was always consider
ed thoroughly reliable and gentle. 1t
was about9 o'clock when. they reached
the top of the steep hill entering the
town of Eckhart and the night was
dark. Just below the large barn
which stands to the left of the road at
this point, two men, presumably in
toxicated, sprang from the side of the
road and shouted at the horse. This
sudden action frightened the animal
and he lurched to one side, olsen
gaginy one of the shalves, which fell
upon his heels. This augmented his
fright and he plunged down the hill at
fearful rate of speed, the driver hav-
ing lost control. In few moments,
and while attempting to draw the
horse to one side, Johns was thrown
out and severely bruised. Farther
down the road Mrs. Davidson was
thrown out, and was senseless when
found. A few minutes later she died,
her skull having been fractured. The
horse was stopped after running half
mile.
Deceased was most estimable lady
and her sudden death was great
shock to her many friends and an ir-
remediable loss to her children.
The identity Of the men whose
criminal conduct caused the accident
is unknown, though it is said circum-
stances point with some plausibility to
a couple choice spirits living "beyond
the fat"
The remains were taken to Baltimore
Monday for interment.
